Posting larger pics

I was wondering, how do you post the larger pics that are in the post content? I know how to add thumbnail pics but not the larger ones.

For some reason too, I can only post 1 pic with my iPad. If I try to add more it just goes back to the last one you added. Anyone else have that problem with the iPad?

I have the same problem with the iPad. Can't post more than one pic. Unfortunate as the iPad is so convenient. The combination of this problem and the size restriction on the co site keep me from posting as much as I'd like to.

Just upload the picture, then copy its link, then paste the link into the widow that pops up when you press this: .

Or, link to a PhotoBucket or similar account.

As for the iPad, sorry, but I only post with my MacBook. You may be abe to do better if you delete the "m." from the beginning of the url.

So Eric, the pic has to be on a hosting site like photobucket or something? Can't just be on the computer?

It has to be uploaded to the Classic Olds site, or available somewhere else on the internet.

Unless your computer is a server, you cannot host photos from your computer on CO.

when you use the attachment button to add pics and go into the seperate window... Upload your pics then there will be an arrow next to that paper clip and you can just click on the attachment you want added on and it will add a line in your reply box and that is where it will be added on your post. Hope this helps and if you want i will try to make a how to guide for it lol

Great info sicky. Nothing helps to learn better then pictures.

I tried what you said though and it worked. But, the pic still came up as a thumbnail, not a large pic.
